Planning Commission Minutes August 9, 1995 Chairman Wietecki provided a general background regarding the use of a conditional use permit within a shopping center versus that of a PUD. He explained that a PUD would give more authority and provide more restrictions than a conditional use permit in any business district. Member Harms stated that no other shopping center would be acceptable for a bingo hall in her mind, but this proposal would be acceptable within the Hamline Shopping Center. Member Rhody asked where bingo halls are currently allowed in a B 1 zone. City Planner Falk pointed out the locations on the zoning map for Bl and B2 districts. Member Sandstrom commented that this may be a rare situation where the city should promote "spot rezoning." He asked what type of criteria should apply when a rezoning or conditional use permit for a bingo hall is applied for. Member Rhody stated that he was concerned about the use of a PUD and that more time may be needed to consider this alternative. Chairman Wietecki stated that a PUD should be guided by the underlying zoning uses. Member Rhody stated that the basis to say "no" to bingo halls is in the city license for such activities. Mary Zimery, representing the Roseville Skating Club, stated that a PUD would tie the hands of the bingo operators and would restrict their area. Each charity must go through the licensing process. More bingo halls in Roseville would put the original bingo hall out of business. The original ordinance was geared to small bingo parlors, and is more like a theater or entertainment center. John Owens, 1345 Skillman, representing the Knights of Columbus, stated that the city code calls for one gambling hall in Roseville. A gambling hall with two licenses or more must be licensed by the city and the state. The current licensees run a clean operation. A second gambling hall simply will not be supported in Roseville. Jim Smith, Kraus Anderson, stated that Kraus Anderson would not open the bingo hall if required to apply for a PUD because it would put more restrictions on the Hamline Center. Chairman Wietecki stated that the PUD could be restricted to that area of the Center where the bingo hall is placed. Paul Bauer, Roseville Youth Hockey, stated the ordinance would require a conditional use permit and a license which is adequate for control. Tim Lynch stated he was opposed to the delay of the ordinance. There was no further public comment. Chairman Wietecki closed the public hearing. Member Sandstrom asked if the site could be rezoned as B 1 within the existing shopping 7
